Of course Xiao Xiao would not suspect that Yuan Qing would harm him intentionally. Even if he has no affection for him, he definitely shouldn't have any hatred. It's just that Qin Qing's few words that had no beginning or end left her a little confused.
"How do you know this?" Xiao Xiao asked.
"Isn't that written on the tombstone?"
"Have you read the words on the stone tablet?" Xiao Xiao looked in disbelief. Although Yuan Qing arrived here before her, he was only about a quarter of an hour earlier than her. In a short period of time, he actually read through the dense text on the three inscriptions? This is simply unbelievable.
Yuan Qing chuckled lightly and said: "I just got a rough idea. The head of Tianjizi died in the West Sea during the war between immortals and demons a thousand years ago. His tombstone was engraved by later generations. Here is The tomb of the leader of Tianjizi does not contain his remains."
Xiaoxiao understood what Yuanqing meant. This tomb was built by later generations. There may be some magical instruments that the master used during his lifetime, but his lifelong experience of cultivating Taoism cannot be put in by future generations.
Yuanqing continued: "The two ancestors, Qingyunzi and Yulingzi, came out of the war between immortals and demons. When their life span was about to run out more than ten years ago, they returned to the Wuji Sect and worked for the Sword Tomb. They carved their own tombstones. And then..."
"What happens next?"
Yuanqing pointed to the direction of the tombstone and said: "Then there is no writing on the tombstone. But I think that since the two ancestors wrote their tombstones with their own hands, they must have made arrangements in their tombs. If you can If you get the approval of either of the two ancestors, you will definitely get an extraordinary fortune."
"Then why do you want me to choose the tombstone of Grandmaster Qingyunzi?"
"Because, the ancestor of Qingyunzi entered Taoism with swords. Among his descendants, only one person has completely inherited his cultivation method of entering Taoism with martial arts, and that is Master Jingxin. As a disciple of Xingkuifeng, there is nothing you don't want to know. Is this the true way of the sword?"
As soon as Qianqing said these words, Xiao Xiao's heart beat wildly. What they Xing Kuifeng disciples learn is swordsmanship. If she can get the inheritance from a cultivation giant in terms of martial arts, then she will definitely soar to the sky.
"Yuanqing, why are you telling me this and why are you helping me? Why have you suddenly become so kind?"
Qianqing smiled but did not answer. The smile blooming on that frozen face that has remained unchanged for thousands of years makes people feel extra warm. Looking at this smiling face, Xiao Xiao felt slightly in a trance.
"Go and understand that stone tablet." Yuan Qing said softly.
Xiao Xiao really didn't understand why this piece of ice suddenly turned into a warm big brother. This made her a little uncomfortable.
"So, what about you? Which one do you choose to understand?" Xiao Xiao's tone became gentler than ever before.
"I want to see the inscription on the back."
Xiao Xiao nodded slightly, she didn't need to choose anymore. If what Yuan Qing said is true, then the Taoist inheritance of Grandmaster Qingyunzi is undoubtedly the most suitable for her.
"Then I'll go over first." Xiao Xiaoda said reluctantly. After pausing for a moment, he turned around and walked towards Qingyunzi's tombstone.
Yuanqing watched Xiao Xiao gradually go away, then turned around and walked in the opposite direction. He stopped in front of Yu Lingzi's tombstone on the right. He raised his head and read the words on the tombstone carefully. Below the text are countless obscure runes. Qianqing didn't take his eyes back and continued to read along the runes. It seemed like he understood all the runes. It wasn't until he finished reading all the inscriptions that he let out a long breath.
The door of the tomb was not opened for him. Maybe it's because he doesn't know the meaning of those runes. In short, he did not get Yu Lingzi's approval. But this result seems to have been expected by him. There was no look of loss on his face. Just stared at the tombstone indifferently. It's like looking at an old object from a long time ago, with a look of reminiscence in the eyes.
He had met Yu Lingzi and Qingyunzi, two great cultivators. Although he was not qualified to participate in the battle in the Demon Sect more than ten years ago, he witnessed the overwhelming battle between the top monks in the sky. That was the most peak and most exciting showdown he had ever seen in his life. In the end, the two Wuji Sect great men were able to cover Taoist Xianyun's escape and died in the desert. The scene was so heroic.
He did not tell Xiao Xiao that there were no corpses in these two tombs. Their bodies had been reduced to ashes in the desert, and their souls had been completely destroyed by the masters of the Demon Cult.
For monks who have cultivated the Nascent Soul, their lifespan refers to the lifespan of the Nascent Soul, not the lifespan of the physical body. The two giants of cultivation have reached their end of life. Even if they did not participate in that battle, their souls will soon disappear. But they actually did such an earth-shattering thing in the last moments of their lives.
Yuanqing admired these two Taoist priests. So after he saw the tombs of these two monks, he sincerely knelt down and worshiped the tombstones.
Yuanqing didn't stay in front of Yu Lingzi's tombstone for too long. He turned his head and glanced at Xiao Xiao, who was already in trance in the distance. Went deeper. Every time he passed a tombstone, he would read the words on it from beginning to end. However, no tomb door was opened for him. Nor did he fret about it. It seemed that reading the story on the inscription attracted him more than entering the tomb to find fortune.
Xiao Xiao carefully read Qingyunzi's inscription. What Yuqing said is absolutely true. This Patriarch is indeed a monk who entered Taoism with a sword. He was obsessed with understanding martial arts and created several sets of powerful sword techniques throughout his life. It's a pity that he didn't have many disciples, and several of his direct disciples died in the war a thousand years ago. Therefore, his sword skills were not passed down.
The stone tablet records that after he survived the first catastrophe, he went to the Holy Land of Cultivation in the north to practice. There he received guidance from many fellow masters, and after practicing hard for a hundred years, he created a set of exquisite swordsmanship. And named it "Qingyun Sword Technique". After mastering the swordsmanship, his lifespan was about to run out, so the "Qingyun Swordsmanship" was still circulated in the world of cultivation.
The last words on the tombstone were obviously the last words of Grandmaster Qingyunzi. He said that his life was worthy of a Taoist heart, "If you get the sword tomb, you will return to the sword tomb." At the end of his life, he would have no regrets if he left a copy of "Qingyun Sword Art" in the sword tomb. . But the Qingyun Sword and his own aging body still have some uses. You cannot stay in the sword tomb.
The inscription ends abruptly here. Xiao Xiao read that Master Qingyunzi was very ambitious. He planned to do another big thing with Qingyun Sword, but the specific thing was not mentioned in the inscription.
Unknowingly, Xiao Xiao burst into tears. She cried silently for a long time before moving her gaze to the runes below.
Many masters had taught her those runes. Xiao Xiao knew that it was the rune law belonging to the sword. But she still didn't recognize most of the runes on the tombstone. I had to bite the bullet and think carefully over and over again.
Inside the sword tomb, there was deathly silence. Time passes quietly in this silence. Xiao Xiao had already entered a state of selflessness. There were only endless runes in her mind. Based on the known runes, she derived the meanings of the runes she had never seen before one by one.
She felt that these runes seemed to not only record the laws of the sword. If you read them together, there seems to be a story hidden inside. After cracking some more runes. The story became clearer and clearer, and it seemed to record a grand war scene.
Xiao Xiao relied on her extremely intelligent Tianling roots to decipher the meanings of more and more runes. The more runes he mastered, the faster he could decipher the remaining runes.
She had seen countless densely packed runes from beginning to end thousands of times. Finally, after she figured out the last rune. All the words on the tombstone began to rotate regularly. The golden runes turned into countless strange symbols.
Those symbols gradually pieced together a blurry picture. The entire tombstone turned into a huge screen.
It was a scene that Xiao Xiao had never seen before.
"Yes, the sea?"
The waves crashed on the shore.
The picture is getting clearer and clearer. Soon Xiao Xiao saw countless monks fighting in the picture. Countless corpses on the coast were soaked in the sea water, like a hell on earth.
Magical weapons are flying all over the sky. The spells are dazzling. Screams and roars joined together. It's chilling. This is a war that humans cannot imagine. Thousands of monks were furious. Countless spiritual beasts were torn into pieces. The water on the shore was actually dyed red with blood...
Xiao Xiao's eyes were attracted by a young couple in the sky.
The man had black hair and was wearing white clothes. The spirit of immortality stands proudly in the sky. The woman was also dressed in white. Her appearance was extremely beautiful, and she was the most beautiful woman in the world that Xiao Xiao had ever seen. But the strange thing is that although she can see the faces of the man and woman, she can't leave any memory in her mind. As long as she looks away, she will immediately forget what they look like the next moment.
Xiao Xiao was not a novice in cultivation, so she immediately got an astonishing answer, "They are true immortals!"
A man in black stood in front of the two men holding a sword. His appearance is invisible! The body is wrapped in red silk and holds a golden giant sword. The huge sword glowed with a dazzling golden light that made it impossible to look directly at it.
The man in black moved. He raised the giant sword in his hand and slashed out. The sword energy fell on the sea surface and actually cut off the sea surface. A deep ravine was carved into the seabed. Wherever the golden light reaches, everything dies. Countless monks were turned into powder.
Then the couple in white and the man in black came to a fight. Thunder rolls and the sea roars. The space between heaven and earth suddenly turned into a dark gray. There is only an unimaginably large flower in the sea far away, still emitting the most gorgeous brilliance.
Xiao Xiao was completely stunned. She muttered a few words repeatedly.
"This is a battle between immortals and demons."
"This was a thousand years ago."
"This is the Bloody Moon of the West Sea..."
